 BEA: News Release: Gross Domestic Product
The slight acceleration in real GDP growth in the third quarter primarily reflected accelerations in PCE and in exports that were partly offset by an upturn in imports, a larger decrease in residential fixed investment, and a deceleration in nonresidential structures.
Real federal government consumption expenditures and gross investment increased 6.8 percent in the third quarter, compared with an increase of 6.0 percent in the second.
Measures of real GDP and its major components are also presented in dollar-denominated form, designated "chained (2000) dollar estimates." For most series, these estimates, which are presented in table 3, are computed by multiplying the current-dollar value in 2000 by a corresponding quantity index number and then dividing by 100.

GDP per capita, the GDP divided by the size of the population, gives the amount of GDP that each individual gets, on average, and thereby provides an excellent measure of standard of living within an economy.

Annual rate of growth 3% means that economy’s real GDP will double in 70/3 =23 years; and growth rate of 2% means GDP will double in 70/2=35 years.
By looking at the variables that compose GDP, and comparing the share of GDP they are accountable for, as well as their relative volatility, we can form an idea of which of them influences the changes in GDP the most.

CBO now forecasts real GDP growth of 4.8 percent in 2004, up from the prior projection of 3.8 percent.
If CBO is right that real economic growth will be almost 5 percent in 2004 and over 4 percent in 2005, then job growth would be almost certain to follow.
Either way, revenues would begin to rise as a percent of GDP and the budgetary situation would be improved.

 SSRN-An Evaluation of Real GDP Forecasts: 1996-2001 by Spencer Krane
Increases in real U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) averaged an annual rate of 3.2 percent between the fourth quarters of 1992 and 1995 (the solid line in panel A of figure 1), a relatively slow pace of growth considering that the economy was emerging from the 1990-91 recession.
Between 1996 and 1999, average real GDP forecasts were in the range of 2.1 percent to 2.3 percent, while the CPI forecasts were in the range of 2.2 percent to 3 percent.
At the turn of the millennium, forecasts for real GDP growth were in the range of 3 percent to 3.5 percent.
